Given that he OWNS one of the frames being discussed, you would expect at least a semi-competent level of knowledge on the subject. !!?
I know that my lugged Norton frames were pinned and furnace-brazed, and featherbeds were oxy welded.
A HUGE leap forward in technique.
Reynolds etc have been making aircraft tubular frames with this technology since preWW2.
Seen a few airframes in hangers being rebuilt, someone must still be current on it.
And mention of SiFbronze welding of 531 tubing is all over the net, if you spend even 2 seconds googling it...
